AN EDITOR MISSING.
Where is Il. q. Roberts, Late Ed
itOr of the 'POst?''

The Saturday Evening Post, society
and dramatic journal, by E. G. Roberts,
editor and manager, SHE'D into the lite
rary arena of St.P auhwith great eclat on
Saturday, Sept. 24l 1t was an eight
page sheet, printed on fine book paper,
and was adorned on the first page with
pictures of, l.. n. Scott, manager of the
Grand opera, house. and j. B. Baker,
proprietor of the Dairy restaurant,
on WabaSha street The issue
was replete with good reading
matter pertaining to society and dra-
matte events, and started off with the
usual I'VE have come to stay" editorial.
Ihat issue was its first and last. When
last Saturday came around the paper
did not make its appearance, and a few
hundred subscribers, and a score of adj
VertlSerS, some of whom had paid in
advance, wondered why. The reason is
not exactly certain yet, but it is rumored
that the brief life of the Post was
due to Il lack of financial
backing, and Mr.. Roberts, unable
to stand the pressure, deserted the
helm. Nobody seems to doubt that Mr..
Roberts intentions were honest in start
ing the venture, but people who have
knowledge about such things are quite
positive that weekly paper cannot be
toulucu anu ISSUED regularly Without
q cash backing to insure against con-
tingencies. Mr.. Roberts seems to have
thought differently. He probably re-
lied upon his own abilities to rustic to
make up the deficiency. At any rate
Mr.. Roberts, who was a resident
in st. Paul some years ago and jour
nalist of some experience, came back to
the city in July last and announced his
intentions in language that Indicated his
earnestness. He had few friends in
the city who assisted him with recon-
mendationS, and he set out to get adver-
Using and subscriptions, expecting to
make the first issue Sept. 3. Mr..
Roberts engaged the publishing
house of IL. p. Hall & Co., in the
Union block, to print the paper, and
was assured by many that there
was a great field i'll ST. Paul for that
kind of a journal. Everything would
probably have gone well If he could
have made both ends meet, but he was
too liberal Spender. 1t is asserted that
Mr.: Roberts collected several hundred
dollars i'll advance payments. and that
he borrowed from at least one man in
Minneapolis to the extent of $50. He
has left the city now and has also left
several bills unpaid. The wind bloweth
where it listeth, but it hasn't brought
any tidings of Mr. Roberts whereabouts
since his sudden departure.

!. AN AGED PENsIONER.
A Veteran of Two Wars Who
go Knew Gen. Grant.

There was veteran in the corridors
OF the state capitol yesterday afternoon,
endeavoring to get an increase of pen
sion, who was in both the Mexican war
and the war of the rebellion. He said
he knew Gen. Grant very well. His
name was Richard Wilkinson. of Wash
mgton county. He enlisted in Mai.
Hatch'S battalion at Pembina in
1868 to fight Indians. In the
Mexican war he was at the battle of
Kings Mill, as a private in the company
of Capt. j. B. S. Todd, a cousin of Mrs.
Abraham Lincoln. Gen. Grant led a
storming party, as lieutenant, upon a
cannon foundry. He succeeded so well
that he was promoted to captain that
very night for bravery. 81 looked him
all over" said the old pensioner, who
was wounded in the hip in this battle
''He seemed to be about twenty-five
years old and very athletic" The first
vote the old pensioner cast was for Will
lam Henry Harrison. He says he would
not vote for Blaine.

County Attorney Egan suggested that
the prisoners named in the special re-
port, against whom no bills had been
found be released together with Eugene
Foster who was indicted at the May
term for larceny, the Indictment having
been annulled on account of the con-
tinued absence from town of the COM
planning witness, his whereabouts be-
ing at present unknown, and they were
accordingly released.
NO INDICTMENTS REPORTED.
When Chief Clark was seen to enter
the grand jury room yesterday, it was
thought that that body was considering
Sunday saloons, but no mention of such
investigation was nude in the reports
yesterday. 1t is barely possible, how
ever. that an investigation was made
and no indictments found.

The State Trophy Again Won by
the First RegimentaI Team.


the First RegimentaI Team.
The second day of the State Guard
tournament at the Fort Smelling range
opened clear and fair yesterday morn
ing, with just enough wind to clear
away the smoke caused by the shoot
ing, and some excellent scores were
made. The regimental team match was
the great event of the day. 1t was open
to teams of ten men from each regiment
of the state, and ten shots each at 100,
200, 800 and 500 yards were allowed each
man. The state trophy, won in 1885 by
the Second, and in 1886 by the First reg
iment. was the prize offered. Repre-
sentativeS of the Third Wisconsin en-
tered for glory only, they said, as the
trophy cannot be taken out of the state.
The First Minnesota team was again the
winner.
The scores made were as follows: The
